Submissions

NOVEL always welcomes new submissions from educators, clinicians and researchers in the field.

The NOVEL project is currently working on completing an Illustrated Curriculum, which is available to NANOS members on the NANOS web site. This project entails linking selected educational resources to each topic in the NANOS Curriculum Outline and the Examination Techniques Curriculum. We are specifically looking for materials covering topics where there are gaps in our knowledge base. Please see the list of gaps linked below for specific topics.

NOVEL Illustrated Curriculum Gaps as of March 2024
